    Bluetooth Remote Control™ is a nice little application that can turn your mobile phone in to a fully fledged remote control for your PC. It lets you map your phone keys to keyboard shortcuts (for any application), and it has special support for common Windows applications such as PowerPoint, Windows Media Player and Winamp etc.. (you can see the PowerPoint slide , or track / artist info for media players on your mobile phone screen). It also let you control the mouse with a live preview of a section of your notebook screen . One of the coolest BT applications I’ve ever used!

    (Free to use with limitations and $12.95 to buy.)
    Supported phones :
    * Nokia Series 60/40/N/E: (All phones from 2005 and later)
    * Sony Ericsson: (All phones from 2005 and later)
    * Motorola: (All phones from 2006 and later)
    * Samsung: (All phones from Q4 2006 and later)
    * Plus additional phones from other phone manufactures

    I think basically any phone with J2ME and Bluetooth should work.

    Disclaimer : I’m not in anyway connected to Blueshareware.com and I’m not trying to advertise their product (although it may look like that ;) ) nor gain anything by posting this. This is just to let you guys know about this nice little tool I found recently :cool:. If mods feel that this post violates forum rules, then please delete.
